I run a manufacturing company with about 350
employees, and I often do the
interviewing and
hiring myself. I like talking to potential
salespeople, because
they're our link to
customers.
得到你想要的工作
哈维·B·麦凯
我经营着一家有350名左右员工的制造公司，我本人常常要对求职者进行面试，决定是否聘
用。我喜欢
与可能成为营业员的人交谈，因为他们会是我们与顾客联系的纽带。
2 When a
recent college graduate came into my office not
too long ago looking
for a sales job, I asked
him what he had done to prepare for the interview.
He said
he'd read something about us
somewhere.
不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办公室谋求一份销售工作。我问他为这次面试
做过哪些准
备。他说他在什么地方看到过有关本公司的一些情况。
3
Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope
Corporation to find out more
about us? No. Had
he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.
他有
没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过电话，好了解更多有关我们的情况？没打过。他有没有给
我们的供应厂商打
过电话？还有我们的客户？都没有。
4 Had he checked with
his university to see if there were any graduates
working
at Mackay whom he could interview? Had
he asked any friends to grill him in a
mock
interview? Did he go to the library to find
newspaper clippings on us?
他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在
本公司就职，以便向他们了解一些情况?他可曾
请朋友向他提问，对他进行模拟面试？可曾去图书馆查找
过有关本公司的剪报？

5 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell
us about himself, what he was doing to
prepare
for the interview and why he'd be right for the
job? Was he planning to
follow up the
interview with another letter indicating his
eagerness to join us?
Would the letter be in
our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly
even
hand-delivered? 他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己，告诉我们
自己为这次面试在做
哪些准备，自己何以能胜任此项工作？面试之后他是否打算再写一封信，表明自己加
盟本公
司的诚意？这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上，也许甚至是亲自送来？
6 The answer to every question was the
same: no. That left me with only one
other
question: How well prepared would this person be
if he were to call on a
prospective customer
for us? I already knew the answer.
他对上述每一个问题的回
答全都一样：没有。这样我就只剩一个问题要问了：如果此人代表
本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人，他
准备工作会做得怎样？答案不言自明。
7 As I see it, there
are four keys to getting hired:
在笔者看来，如欲被聘用，应注意四个要诀：
8 1. Prepare
to win.
the saying goes among musicians. you
miss two days of practice, the critics
notice
the difference. If you miss three days of
practice, the audience notices the
difference.
1. 准备去赢。“一日不练，自己知道，”音乐家中有这样的说法。两日不练，音乐评论家知
道。三日不练，观众知道。

9 When we watch a world-class musician or a
top athlete, we don't see the years
of
preparation that enabled him or her to become
great. The Michael Jordans of the
world have
talent, yes, but they're also the first ones on
and the last ones off the
basketball court.
The same preparation applies in every form of
human endeavor. If
you want the job, you have
to prepare to win it.
我们在观看世界级音乐家或顶尖运动员的表演时，看到
的并不是使他们变成出类拔萃人物的
长年苦练。世界上诸如迈克尔·乔丹这样的顶尖人物无疑具有非凡才
能，但他们在篮球场上
也是第一个到，最后一个走。同样的苦练适用于人类的各项活动。若想被聘用，就
要准备去
赢。
10 When I graduated from
college, the odds were good that I would have the
same job for the rest of my life. And that's
how it worked out. But getting hired is no
longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Employment experts believe that today's
graduates could face as many as ten job
changes during their careers.
我大学毕业时，我极有可能终身从事
同一个工作。当时情况也的确如此。但如今已不再是一
生被聘去做一个工作了。指导就业的专家认为，今
天的大学毕业生在他们的生涯中可能会经
历多达10次的职业变动。
11
That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if
you're prepared, the pressure is
on the other
folks -- the ones who haven't done their homework.
听上去似乎压力不小。然而，如果你做了准备，压力就是别人的—那些没做准备的人.

多。
13 2. Never stop learning. Recently
I played a doubles tennis match paired with
a
90-year-old. I wondered how things would work out;
I shouldn't have. We
hammered our opponents
6-1, 6-1!
2. 永不中断学习。最近我和一位90高龄的老者搭档打双人网球。我琢磨着那
会是什么结局；
可我的担心是多余的。我们以两个6:1击败对手。
14
As we were switching sides to play a third set, he
said to me,
I play the backhand court? I
always like to work on my a
fantastic example
of a person who has never stopped learning.
Incidentally, we won
the third set 6-1.
我们
交换场地打第三局时，他对我说：“我打反手击球你不介意吧？我向来喜欢多练练自己
的弱点。”好一个
永不中断学习的精彩实例。顺便说一下，我们6:1赢了第三局。
15 As we
walked off the court, my 90-year-old partner
chuckled and said,
thought you'd like to know
about my number-one ranking in doubles in the
United
States in my age bracket, 85 and up!He
wasn't thinking 90; he wasn't even
thinking
85. He was thinking number one.

16 You can do the same if you work on your
weaknesses and develop your
strengths. To be
able to compete, you've got to keep learning all
your life.
如果你努力克服自己的弱点，发挥自己的优势，你同样可以做得那么好。要有能
力竞争，就
得终生学习。
17 3. Believe in
yourself, even when no one else does. Do you
remember the
four-minute mile? Athletes had
been trying to do it for hundreds of years and
finally decided it was physically impossible
for humans. Our bone structure was all
wrong,
our lung power inadequate.
3. 相信自己，哪怕没人相信你。还记得
那4分钟跑一英里的往事吗？几百年来，运动员们一
直试图实现这一目标，最终人类的身体无法做到。我
们的骨结构不适应，我们的肺活量跟不
上。
18 Then one
human proved the experts wrong. And, miracle of
miracles, six
weeks after Roger Bannister
broke the four-minute mile, John Landy beat
Bannister's time by nearly two full seconds.
Since then, close to eight hundred
runners
have broken the four-minute mile!

York Marathon. At the gun, 23,000 runners
started -- and 21,244 finished. First
place
went to a Kenyan who completed the race in two
hours, 11 minutes and one
second. The 21,244th
runner to finish was a Vietnam veteran. He did it
in three days,
nine hours and 37 minutes. With
no legs, he covered 26.2 miles. After my daughter
and I passed him in the first few minutes, we
easily found more courage to finish
ourselves.
几年前，我和女儿米米参加了纽约马拉松比赛。发令枪一响，23,000名运动员冲出起跑线
—最后有21,244名运动员到达终点。第一名是一位以2小时11分钟零1秒跑完全程的肯尼亚
人。
第21,244名运动员是一位越战老兵。他用了3天9小时37分钟跑完全程。没有双腿的他
坚持跑完
了26.2英里。我和女儿在比赛的最初几分钟内超过了他，当时顿觉勇气倍增，一定
要跑完全程。
20 Don't ever let anyone tell you that
you can't accomplish your goals. Who says
you're not tougher, harder working and more
able than your competition? You see,
a goal is
a dream with a deadline: in writing, measurable,
identifiable, attainable.

21 4. Find a way to make a

cabdrivers are unfriendly, if not
downright rude. Most of the cabs are filthy, and

jumped
into a cab at LaGuardia Airport and guess what? It
was clean. There was
beautiful music playing

28 My mentor, Curt Carlson, is the
wealthiest man in Minnesota, owner of a
hotel

of $$9 billion. I had to get
to a meeting in
New York one day, and Curt generously offered me a

It happened to be a day
Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms

Airport was closed for the first time in
decades.

州遭
受多年不遇的暴风雪袭击。明尼阿波利斯—圣保罗国际机场几十年来第一次关闭。

pound us, the airport opened a
runway for

not, arguing that the type of society being
created in America is quite unlike any
that
has gone before it. Read what he has to say and
